Damn you definately need some qa1s up front with lighter springs to transfer that weight and get those wheels high in the air like Larry. Car looks good as always! What was the tire psi?

I would just get the shocks and lower the back tires to about 12.5 and let her rip, I see a 12.56@121. Get the nitrous next year this year is already over with, see what you can get her to do on ***** then spray the **** out of her next year!

what kinda 60' are you cutting with either setting? find out pretty much how low you can go without sacrificing on the big end.

what pressure you running in the fronts?

you have rear shocks yet? if not comp engineering 3ways are cheap and good

I set the fronts at 37psi. On the 16psi run at 4500 of the 2-step it went 1.78 or something and with 14psi & 5K off the 2-step it went 1.68.
All 4 shocks and springs are bone stock WS6 stuff.

He has a web site posted in the bottom right of the pics. If you want the ones that dont have the water mark **** you need to buy them. Or you can have him print them at the track. His little building is right by the gas pumps and tech booth.

I agree with whomever said to go a bit steeper in gear and 28" tire...It'll help ur 60's come down and bring rpms up at the top end and should increase your mph...Also, while front and rear shocks will do wonders together, if money is tight i'd just go with a good QA1 12 way rear shock and play with the settings on the stiff side to help drive the tires into the track. Rear shock settings are often overlooked and make a huge difference...I run mine with a stock rear spring and typically on setting 8 and work from there...good luck with everything...
